constructued for the Rachel Carson bridge. Carson was an American marine biologist, author, and conservationist whose book Silent Spring and other writings are credited with advancing the global environmental movement.
Over 27,000 multicolored LED lights positioned along the bridge’s vertical cables will show a real-time visualization of wind speed and direction as captured by a weather station located on the bridge. The electricity needed to power Energy Flow will be generated by sixteen wind turbines attached to the catenary arches of the bridge.
